摘要: Abstract Pomegranate juice (PJ) has gained popularity because of its associated antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, effects against epidemiologically significant foodborne viruses have not been investigated. In the absence culturable human noroviruses, feline calicivirus (FCV-F9), murine norovirus (MNV-1), MS2 (ssRNA) bacteriophage were used as viral surrogates. The aim this research was to study PJ pomegranate polyphenols (PP) on infectivity. Viruses at high (∼7 log10 PFU/mL) or low (∼5 log10 titers mixed with equal volumes PJ, 8, 16, 32 mg/mL PP, water (control) incubated for 1 h room temperature. Viral infectivity after treatments evaluated using standardized plaque assays. decreased titer FCV-F9, MNV-1, by 2.56, 1.32, 0.32 log10 PFU/mL, respectively, 1.20, 0.06, 0.63 log10 titers. Inter...
